"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I have a huge problem. . .

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Ha before i read the poster name i thought this was a thread about someone needing advice on how to get rid of a gay guy who he was friends with. lol

I dunno if your still looking for advice or if it was totally covered for you, but i would suggest just doing this guy a favor and telling him you just want to be friends and that you want a guy with confidence (yes you do). Hell, you could even be a good friend and refer him to this site if you wanted and tell him it will help him out with the next chick this guy becomes infatuated with. Kissing him will only have the kid bashing his head in at night when he starts recieving mixed signals from you later after you realise your not attracted to him.



Well anyway i noticed your from IL, what part? I live fairly close to IL myself. If you need any other advice or would like a stimulating conversation with someone near your age, my email is [email protected]

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
